Had a full morning out at a few sites on Thursday 1st April. Nice warm day with plenty to look at - it actually felt like Summer was round the corner. Highlights were:
LINTON POND
3 Chiff Chaffs singing in the woods and one 1st Winter Glaucous Gull on the pool.
DRURIDGE POOL
Firecrest in the willows near the Budge hide screen.
CRESSWELL POND
Smew (f) still there, a Dunlin and 4 Red breasted Merganser (2m, 2f) + the usual Yellowhammers (12), Tree Sparrows (3/4) etc feeding near the sheep troughs.
No Martins or Swallows anywhere though.
About Me
- Andy Atkinson
- I've birded in South Africa, California, Israel, Canada, Texas, Iceland, Poland, Cyprus, Turkey, Fuertaventura, Spain and done Mallorca many times but I'm rarely happier when I'm birding at Druridge Bay, Lindisfarne and other sites on the Northumberland coast. Keeping my little boy occupied has curtailed things a bit so if a birder rolls up to a twitch with a nipper in tow - it's me.
